A Legacy of Innovation Since 1890
Since 1890, The Chevy Chase Land Company has shaped the communities of Chevy Chase and greater Washington, D.C. Founded by Senator Francis G. Newlands, the company’s early development efforts were integral to establishing one of the area’s first planned communities.
As the area grew, so did the company’s role, expanding from residential developments into commercial spaces, shopping centers, and mixed-use projects. Today, The Chevy Chase Land Company continues to build on its legacy, managing a diverse portfolio of properties and contributing to the ongoing vitality of the communities it serves.
A Recognition of Our Past
The Chevy Chase Land Company fully acknowledges that, despite Senator Newlands’ contributions to developing this region, his views on race were discriminatory and left an impact on our community. While our founder’s legacy is part of our history, The Chevy Chase Land Company stands firmly opposed to those beliefs and is committed to fostering communities defined by inclusivity, respect, and openness. Today, we dedicate ourselves to creating welcoming spaces and to building neighborhoods that reflect and celebrate diversity.
